I am one….lazy….bastard!
And an important part of getting me up and doing things is a steady stream of motivation.

Motivation is SO different from person-to-person, so for what it’s worth, here’s a couple of things I randomly consume whenever I need a shot of adrenaline:
——————————————

Dave Matthews blowing his lungs out:
After a 2-year long tour, this Central Park concert was the very last for The Dave Matthews Band, and in their final song “All Along The Watchtower” he screams his lungs off (watch whole thing if you like, but screaming starts at 11minute mark):http://youtu.be/fOaMQ-R9YGM?t=10m58s

Pendulum performing 2 re-mixed songs at GlastonBerry.
Cinematography is wonderful. I dunno if they’re techno or a rock band, but I used to watch this constantly at wall-shaking & neighbor-complaining levels:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnD0YRAT0bg

Slipknot performing “Wait and Bleed” live.
I think the 1st minute of this live recording is unbelievably well done. Don’t know why. You might not wanna watch this at work or around kids:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yngxExGNIHg

I’m a nerd so I watch YouTube videos and interviews allllll the time when at home.

One of my absolute favorite pieces of entertainment which I learned a hulluvalot from is a short documentary called “Talking Funny” (It’s just Jerry Seinfeld, Ricky Gervais, Louis CK, and Chris Rock talking about being funny for an hour….and it’s FREAKING AMAZING).

There’s a profound moment I will NEVER forget…

It was said by Louis CK, while he was talking about how he makes his act stronger:

Click the image below and it’ll take you to the video starting at the 4min15second mark:

“One of the things I started doing was taking my closing bit, and opening with it, just to fuck myself. Because then I have to follow my strongest bit. So the end of my act gets stronger, because I don’t have a choice.“

–Louis CK

I won’t sit here and micro-examine that phrase, because I’m sure you extract what you need from it on your own.

Just thought I’d share this piece of advice that’s stuck with me since the day I watched it (I’ve since watched it at least 30+ times…no joke)!

I dunno what it was about that layout, but it was just easy-as-hell to read and easy to endlessly scroll through.

Kinda want some elements of that back.

Working with Alf, and already got some of the very basic framework spec’d out:

Obviously a lot of the elements (like background) will change. But this just the general framework. POINT IS, this is moving already, so should be completed soon.

Next goal is a kopywriting book.

I randomly started writing it, and it went quick because it was based on the KopywritingKourse.

Now I think the video course is by FAR the best way to learn what I have to teach, but the book will be great for people who can’t watch it for whatever reason. It’ll also expose Kopywriting to a large audience.

It’s ALWAYS harder than it seems to crank out a book (I learned this from my Book In Two Weeks Experiment), but hopefully I can finish this month.

I’m going to TRY to limit the book to 70 or 90 pages so it’s really quick. Like a copywriting guide.

ANYWHOOZLE, those are my goals….Got yours set for June 2013 yet??
